Show abstract
The mechanisms by which epigenetic modifications are established in gene regulatory regions of active genes remain poorly understood. The data presented show that the establishment and recycling of a major epigenetic mark, the acetylated form of the replacement histone H2A.Z, is regulated by cell cycle-specific long noncoding RNAs encoded in regions adjacent to the promoters of active genes. These transcripts, termed SPEARs (S Phase EArly RNAs), are induced in early S phase: their expression precedes that of the downstream genes on which they exert their regulatory action. SPEARs drive the modification and deposition of the acetylated form of histone H2A.Z by bringing together the replacement histone and the histone acetyl transferase TIP60. This widespread bimodal pathway constitutes a novel RNA-mediated mechanism for the establishment of epigenetic marks and cell-specific epigenetic profiles, thereby providing a unifying explanation for the accuracy and persistence of epigenetic marks on chromatin.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
